The AAPM supports its mission to advance the science, education and professional practice of medical physics by fostering the education and professional development of medical physicists at various meetings held throughout the year.

The AAPM Annual Meeting & Exhibition held in late July or early August draws about 4,000 participants to the world’s largest program of scientific, educational and professional presentations plus technical exhibits and social programs that targets the medical physics community specifically.

The Spring Clinical Meeting provides practical information designed to help medical physicists integrate emerging technologies into the clinical environment and keep abreast of regulatory and accreditation related issues, and also provides a forum for the exchange of ideas in support of practice quality improvement. It was previously known as the ACMP annual meeting.

The very popular annual AAPM Summer School provides an opportunity for the intensive study of a
broad medical physics topic in an informal setting that provides an opportunity to build national
collegiality.

AAPM Group meetings are committees, task groups, working groups and others who meet as necessary throughout the year. The AAPM supports virtual meetings of its committees using a
variety of web-related tools.

Meetings of AAPM Chapters vary from single lecture evening presentations to whole day meetings in a local or regional setting and provide an opportunity to build local collegiality.
